jeffvintage Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Hope this is OK to post It is sad news my old mate (Stu) Stuart Syme passed away a few days ago. He loved his Buick's, and was a walking encyclopaedia when it came to Buick models /year, and part numbers etc. He will be sadly missed RIP my old mate Edited April 3, 2023 by MrEarl (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 So sorry to hear this news. Stuart aka @50jetback was always ready to help with tech stuff as well as just being a fun guy here on the forums. He always countered my Spam posts with his Vegimite references and even sent me a jar once which only a few months ago strangely disappeared from the pantry. I had hoped to take him up on his invitation to visit as Australia has always been on our list of places to go before we go. Rest in Peace now Stuart, I and many more here will miss you. 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I met Stuart in 2003 when he participated in our caravan from Seattle to Flint for the Buick Centennial Celebration. He was a great addition to our group, and we enjoyed seeing him again during one of his return visits to the USA. I am sorry to learn of his passing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffvintage Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Just an update folks: A big turn out at Stu's funeral in Guildford Western Australia A truly touching tribute with a solo W.A Police piper and a police guard on honour, and salute as his coffin was lowered into the ground. Stuart was a Western Australian Police officer for over thirty years and rose to the rank of Inspector, before retiring from the WA police force His love was Buick automobile and old Harley Davidson's May the Buick's be with you Stu RIP Mate 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
